Authors Note: I got so many reviews for the last chapter it has made me very excited to keep on writing! R+R! Sorry it took so long… my computer broke and was sent to doctor to get fixed… but now it's all better!
Chapter Eight: The Prize
Leader? She was a leader of a gang? HOLY SHIT! The girls didn't seem that concerned. Obviously Syaoran knew about it, having seen it after John was done… but why the hell was she a leader? She desperately wanted to talk to Syaoran about this, but he was in a private meeting with Wolf, and she had no clue where it was being held. Apparently even though she was a "leader"… this was a guy's only meeting.
"You seem frazzled." A girl with black hair and brown eyes spoke, taking a seat next to her on the couch. "I'm Stacey." She said holding out her hand. Sakura smiled and shook it.
"Sakura… I suppose I am a little frazzled." Sakura giggled as they finally settled on Glee on TV. "Have you been in the gang long?" Sakura asked, seeing the tattoo on Stacey's ankle. It was a plain black wolf… no color at all, as far as Sakura could tell.
"Oh geez…" Stacey blew out a breath as she thought, "About three years. My fiancée is somehow part of the family." Sakura giggled.
"Better than me… I've been a member for…" Sakura looked at the clock hanging on the wall, "four hours!" Stacey giggled along with Sakura, and she found herself enjoying the company.
"Who do you know in the gang so far?" Stacey asked.
"Tomoyo's my cousin, and Mei Lin is my roommate." Sakura stated. "And I'm kinda dating Syaoran." Stacey's eyes almost popped out of her head.
"Well I gotta say… you're way better looking that his last one. You seem nicer too." Stacey said with a smile. "Tomoyo's such a sweet heart, and Mei Lin is Mei Lin." Sakura giggled.
"Are you coming to the club with us tonight?" Sakura asked, noticing that it was getting late. She would have to go find her cousin soon and get ready to go.
"Probably… Depends on what Chao wants to do. That's my fiancée's name." Stacey said with a nice smile. "If he doesn't feel like going out I'll most likely stay here with him."
"That's sweet of you." Sakura said smiling at her new friend.
"SAKRURA!" Tomoyo's voice sounded from up the stairs. Sakura and Stacey both cringed.
"I should go see what she wants before the whole house goes deaf." Sakura said, getting up. "It was so nice to meet you! I hope we can hang out more."
"Same here." Stacey said as she watched Sakura head for the stairs. "Hope Li keeps this one." She mumbled before getting up as well and heading toward the kitchen.
Syaoran
The meeting was taking way longer than he had planned. He wanted to go spend more time with Sakura, but that didn't seem like it was going to happen until they left for the club.
"Xiao Lang, are you even paying attention to me?" Wolf's voice disturbed his thoughts. He shook his head before addressing his leader.
"Sorry Sir… what were you saying?" Syaoran asked, leaning over to look at the table. Wolf chuckled.
"Tiger has been renting out a warehouse in this district. We haven't been able to pin point the exact unit, but I'm thinking of sending in some men." Wolf said again. Syaoran looked at the area knowing there were at least 50 units that Tiger could be using. He frowned.
"With the ball in a couple weeks I think it might take too long. Maybe we should wait." Syaoran said, knowing that for a project like this they would need to call more men back to Tokyo. They just simply didn't have the man power on hand at the moment.
"I think you're right. At least there will be plenty of men when the ball comes around. It will make it easier." Wolf said, turning his eyes to the grandfather clock by the wall. "It's just after 9:00pm. We'll call it a night for now." The guys sighed, thinking how pissed the girls would be at them for taking so long.
"And why wasn't Sakura in on this meeting seeing as ya'll made her a leader?" Sage asked from the wall. Wolf and Jamie chuckled, Syaoran frowned.
"She's new to this world… I'll fill you in later; right now Xiao Lang and the boys need to go get ready. I'm sure Mei Lin will give you all an ear full for being late." Wolf said, as he and Sage left the room. Syaoran, Jamie and Eriol all sighed as they headed to their rooms to quickly shower and change.
Sakura
Her hair was braided like Tomoyo's and Mei Lin's, and she was in a super sexy outfit. Pink leather halter, and black jeans that tied up the sides. Her tattoo was proudly showing just like the other girls, and she hoped that was ok with Syaoran. She couldn't wait to go dance.
"So are you going to ride with my cousin, or alone?" Mei Lin asked, as she finished off her makeup. Sakura had been thinking the same thing.
"I'm probably going to ride with Syaoran. I figure we'll all be coming back here after, and then going to the dorms sometime tomorrow." Sakura shrugged. Mei Lin's smirk didn't go unnoticed, but Sakura didn't say anything.
"We have a paper due Monday, did you finish it?" Tomoyo asked, as she grabbed her purse. Sakura groaned… She hated homework.
"No… which is why I need to go back to the dorms tomorrow." Sakura said as they headed out the door. "I haven't done any homework at all this weekend…" Tomoyo and Mei Lin giggled.
"You'll learn to prioritize." Tomoyo said as they walked down the stairs, not seeing the guys. "It took me a little bit to juggle school and gang. You'll get the hang of it." Sakura sighed… she wouldn't hold her breath on that. She looked at the clock on the wall, and wondered where the guys were.
"Maybe Wolf kept them late in the meeting…" Mei Lin said, voicing Sakura's thoughts.
"Should we go and check?" Tomoyo asked, not actually moving anywhere near the meeting location. Sakura and Mei Lin shook their head.
"Probably not the best idea to interrupt a secret meeting." Skaura said. "It's only 9:45pm… we'll give them 15 more minutes, then we can hunt them down"
Syaoran
He had never felt the need to please anyone before, but he wanted to look extra good for Sakura. He couldn't figure out why, but it was taking him longer than usual to pick something to wear to the club. He felt like a chick… which was totally weird. He knew deep down that Sakura didn't care what he wore, but he still wanted to impress her. He had given up on his hair after the fourth attempt of getting it to tame. Now he couldn't choose between the green button down with the silver wolf, or the black pin-striped button down. With a growl he decided on the green one, knowing that it would match her eyes.
"Syaoran! We're late and the girls are waiting." Jamie's voice sounded. Syaoran quickly dabbed on some cologne and grabbed his wallet before heading to the door. He opened his door and came face to face with Jamie. The Dragon leader was wearing a similar outfit, but his shirt was red with a gold dragon.
"Great minds…" Jamie sighed, as they both headed toward the front of the house.
"Have the girls seen you yet?" Syaoran asked as they walked a bit faster. Jamie nodded.
"I figured I would come get you while Eriol kept them distracted." Jamie shrugged. When they rounded the corner, Eriol had Tomoyo in his arms, and Sakura was taping the lip lock, while Mei Lin made silly hand gestures. Syaoran was amazed he hadn't passed out. Sakura looked beautiful as always. The girls hadn't noticed him and Jamie's entrance, so he quietly walked up behind her and placed his arms around her waist. She stiffened, and then relaxed almost immediately.
"How did you know it was me?" he whispered, as Sakura was still taping. She giggled when he kissed her neck.
"You're the only person I know that wears that particular cologne." She whispered back as she closed the camera. "That and I saw you from the corner of my eye. You're lucky I did…"
"And why's that, Ying Fa?" He asked with a chuckle.
"I was about to attack you." She answered as nonchalantly as possible. He chuckled again… she just continued to surprise him. "So am I riding with you?" He kissed her neck again, loving how she smelled like the cherry blossoms she was named after.
"If you want to. I won't mind." Syaoran said, grabbing her hand and leading her outside. He smiled when she rolled her eyes at him.
Club
"Sakura!" She turned her head to the sound of her name, and smiled seeing Naoko and Rika waving at her from ¼ down the line of eager teens trying to get in. She let go of Syaoran's hand wand walked to them smiling.
"Hey girls! What ya'll doing here?" Sakura asked giving them small hugs.
"Mika and Alex invited us out, but we couldn't get a hold of them, so we're waiting in this crazy line!" Rika said.
"Oh! Well, why don't you skip this line and come in with me?" Sakura said looking at the wait.
"Okay!" Naoko said hopping on the other side of the rope. As they walked to the front a blonde girl next to get in caught sight of the three and sneered.
"The line is back there." She said as her pose started laughing. Rika and Naoko looked at Sakura like this was a bad idea, but Sakura just smiled.
"That's right, and if you don't want to end up all the way down there I suggest you shut your cock sucker!" Sakura said to the blonde. Syaoran who saw Sakura outside the door smiling too sweetly even for her, went out to see what the holdup was. When she saw him coming she winked at him. Telling him to play along. He nodded as he got to the bouncer holding up the door.
"Is there a problem ladies?" Syaoran asked stepping next to T.J., the bouncer.
"These three little girls think they can just cut the line and get in, but I have the owner of this club waiting to meet me!" The blonde said. Sakura had to hold back a laugh, and the look on Syaoran's face said he was as well.
"Oh really, and does the owner even know you?" Syaoran asked, that sexy smirk in place.
"No, but as soon as he sees me I know he'll want to!" Blondie spoke. Sakura rolled her eyes at the bimbo's attempt at seduction.
"Well I happen to be the owner, and I guarantee you that I have no interest in you." Syaoran said, a frown on his handsome face. The blonde just looked at him star struck.
"But you don't even know my name! I'm way more experienced than these children! I'll show you a great time!" She said, batting her fake eye lashes. Sakura turned to Naoko and Rika, pretending to gag, causing her two friends to giggle.
"Well do tell me your name." Syaoran spoke, trying to ignore his laughing girlfriend.
"Sashi…Sashi Mikiimoro." Sakura figure that was the bimbo's attempt at sounding sultry… she failed.
"You heard the lady T.J. Miss Mikiimoro is here by banned from this club until Sakura states otherwise." Syaoran said smiling at Sakura as she came up and hugged him. He chuckled at her cute little wink.
"I told you to keep your yap shut. Hi T.J.!" Sakura said walking in the club with Rika and Naoko behind her holding in giggles.
"Don't make me get rough with you girls. You heard the owner now scram!" T.J. said as the blonde and friends got out of line and walked off angrily. Sakura couldn't help but burst out laughing as soon as they were safely inside the club.
Syaoran
His girlfriend was something else! She was sweet and innocent, but could also be a ruthless bitch when she needed to be. There was no doubt in his mind now about making her a leader. She would be as great as him, and he would make sure of that. According to Tomoyo, the only thing she really needed to learn to do was shooting. That wasn't a problem for him. He could teach her easily.
"Are you going to come dance with me?" Sakura's voice met his ears through the noise of the music. He smiled down at her beautiful face, and wrapped his arms around her waist. He really hated dancing, but he just couldn't make himself say no to her. He spun her and danced close to her.
"You can actually dance?" Sakura giggled as he spun her again to the beat. He felt himself smiling at her statement.
"Of course I can dance." He spoke in her ear. He felt her giggle as a tremor through his body. He had to mentally tell himself to calm down as he felt himself harden. Gods she turned him on without even knowing it. "I'm going to head up to the lounge. Sound good?" He didn't know why he needed her permission. Usually he just left. She turned to face him, with her smile.
"Of course! I'll come visit you later." She said, kissing him. He didn't think he would ever get tired of kissing her. He let go of her and headed up to the VIP lounge. Jamie was in there with a few other members. Eriol was either dancing with Tomoyo, or somewhere private… with Tomoyo.
"She got you to dance. I'm shocked!" Jamie chuckled, handing him a beer. He rolled his eyes at his best friend.
"What's your point?" Syaoran asked, drinking his beer, glaring at the Dragon leader. Jamie chuckled even harder, looking to the dance floor every few seconds.
"You like her." Jamie shrugged. Syaoran shrugged back, looking to the dance floor, easily spotting Sakura with her two friends and Mei Lin.
"What's not to like?" Syaoran answered. He frowned seeing Tatiana enter the club. "Fuck…"
"Probably should go down there before Mei Lin gets loose." Jamie said, placing his beer down and heading for the door. Syaoran sighed and ran a hand through his hair before following.
Sakura
She really enjoyed this club, and hanging with her friends. She giggled when Mei Lin spun her and started to dirty dance with her, catching the attention of most of the guys in the room. Sakura turned her back to Mei Lin, and caught sight of the blonde tramp entering the club. Oh pay back was a bitch, and Sakura was going to enjoy this. She kept her back to Mei Lin, and waved Naoko and Rika over.
"She blondie entering right now?" Sakura asked. She was currently holding Mei Lin back from attacking Tatiana. She could tell Mei Lin was fuming.
"Yea…" Naoko said and Rika nodded. Sakura could feel the evil look on her face.
"Mei Lin… please explain." Sakura spoke, knowing it would distract Mei Lin for a moment.
"She's Xiao Lang's ex-bitch." Mei Lin said. Sakura had to try hard not to laugh. Mei Lin was pissed off. Sakura saw Jamie cutting through the dancers. Tatiana was looking around, probably for Syaoran. Sakura nodded at Jamie, and he immediately understood. His arms wove around Mei Lin, and Sakura watched her friend relax. Jamie started whispering something in her ear, and that seemed to calm her down even more.
"So what are you going to do?" Syaoran's voice sounded in her ear as his arms wrapped around her waist. She turned to look at him with a sweet smile. It was only a matter of time before Tatiana found them. She suddenly felt like she was being judged by him. She felt guilty for wanting to get pay back on Tatiana.
"Was going to give her a rematch…" Sakura shrugged simply. Syaoran's lips grazed her neck, and she shivered.
"You want to make her jealous Ying Fa?" He whispered. She giggled, and nodded. She could feel him smiling against her skin. "I like that plan too." He easily lifted and spun her around, and she came face to face with Tatiana. The shocked look made Sakura giggle. She smirked at the blonde bimbo.
"Bitch! Think you can steal my man?" Tatiana screeched. The music was shut off, and there was a group of people circling around them. Mei Lin was giggling. Mika and Alex had finally showed up, and were standing by Naoko and Rika.
"I don't know if steal is the word I would use." Sakura said. "I'm sure it was a no brainer."
"My cousin isn't stupid." Mei Lin spoke. "Sakura or Tatiana is like asking Sexy of Skanky." Mei Lin and Naoko high fived. Sakura giggled again. Tatiana was fuming. Sakura turned in Syaoran's arms, showing her back and tattoo. She looked over her shoulder to see Tatiana gaping. She hoped Tomoyo was around taping this somewhere.
"How about a rematch? The winner gets Syaoran!" Tatiana asked, hands crossed.
"He's not some prize at a fair dumbass." Sakura spoke. "He didn't want your nasty ass, and I already beat you once."
"Afraid? Last time was a fluke." Tatiana spoke looking at her friends behind her.
"You can kick her ass again if you want to. " Syaoran whispered in her ear. "I'd feel proud being won by you." His kissed her ear making her shiver again.
"And what will I get from you when I do win?" She asked, raising a brow. He chuckled.
"Shooting lessons." He answered. She playfully hit him in the arm. "I enjoy watching you fight. Go have some fun." She giggled, kissing him passionately on the lips, knowing it was further irritating Tatiana.
"So how we going to do this?" Sakura asked, turning back to Tatiana. "One on one or group rumble?" Sakura asked. Last time she only had Mei Lin… this time she was surrounded by Naoko, Rika, Mie Lin, and a few other girls. They must have been Wolf girls. This would be fun. She could tell Tatiana was getting intimidated. The bitch was sorely out numbered.
"Four on four?" Tatiana spoke, as three of her four friends stepped forward. Tatiana's friends looked more like men than women, but whatever. She looked at Mei Lin, then her two friends.
"Girls… feel like an extra work out? I'll give you Monday off." Sakura winked. Naoko and Rika giggled.
"Yea yea Sakura… Whatever you say…" Rika said, tying her hair up into a pony tail. Naoko took the offered hair tie from Mei Lin and did the same. Syaoran released Sakura and headed over to the guys, as the four girls squared off.
Syaoran
He already knew Sakura was going to win. Hell she could kick his ass; she would have no problem kicking Tatiana's. He was more worried about Sakura's two friends.
"What do you think Xiao Lang?" Jamie asked as he and the guys stood back. The girls were sizing up their opponents.
"I know Mei Lin and Sakura will be ok. Interested to see the two others." Syaoran answered. He watched closely as the fight began. All four girls took a good punch, and the guys cringed. Mika went to move, but Syaoran held him back.
"They're testing the others strength." Alex spoke to his friend. Mika looked back to the fight. The four girls were smiling, causing Tatiana's skanks to be obviously confused.
"Wow… that's it?" Naoko asked, whipping her mouth.
"Sakura… we still get Monday off even if this ends in like 2 minutes?" Rika asked. Sakura and Mei Lin were laughing, and Syaoran found himself smirking.
"This is going to be very insightful I think." Eriol's voice sounded. Syaoran turned to see his cousin, and Sakura's cousin standing next to them. Tomoyo was taping away as usual. The fight had finally begun. Mei Lin was ruthless as usual, and took her opponent down in seconds. She held the girls' face to the dirty floor, as the others continued.
"Sakura's playing with Tatiana." Tomoyo spoke as Naoko and Rika finally took down their opponents. Sakura was still at it.
Sakura
She was having way too much fun. She was letting Tatiana think she had the upper hand, but this was only a game. Naoko, Rika and Mei Lin had finished quickly. She, however, wanted Tatiana to understand that Syaoran was hers, and that meant to stay the fuck away.
"Sakura… stop playing around! I want to get back to dancing." Naoko yelled. Sakura giggled and nodded. She blocked Tatiana's punch, and then attacked with all she had. It didn't take much, and Tatiana was face down on the ground like her skank friends. There were a few other girls holding the rest of Tatiana's slut parade down too.
"Listen good." Skaura said. "Syaoran dumped your nasty ass, which means he doesn't want you. He is with me which means he's off limits. So stay the fuck away or you'll have more than a few bruises. It'll be more like a few broken bones. Got it?"
"Stupid bitch!" Tatiana spat. Sakura put more pressure on the girl, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Now now… no need for that. A simple yes will do, and then you and your slut parade can leave with what little pride you have left." Sakura said as sweetly as possible. She took a glance at Syaoran, seeing the smirk on his face.
"Yea I got it!" Tatiana screeched. Sakura got up, and watched as T.J. and some bouncers took over and not-so-kindly escorted the girls out. Sakura walked over to Syaoran with a smile like nothing was wrong in the world. He wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her close.
"I am so proud of you." He whispered in her ear. She smiled bigger. She felt proud too.
"So who were the nice girls that helped us out?" Sakura asked turning to the four other girls that had helped. She recognized two of them.
"Stacey, Tina, Aaliegha, and Monica." Syaoran answered. "Tina goes to your school."
"Yea I know… one of my cheerleaders." Sakura smiled at her friend. "I guess you get Monday off too." Tina laughed.
"Thanks Captain." Tina spoke with a wink. "Or should I call you Boss? I get all confused with titles." Sakura giggled.
"How about we get back to dancing?" Mei Lin spoke from Jamie's arms. Sakura and the girls nodded.
"Syaoran?" Mika's voice sounded. Sakura looked from her boyfriend to the black-haired guy.
"Yea yea… you know the drill." Syaoran answered. Sakura made a mental note to ask what the hell that was about… but later. Right now she wanted to enjoy the rest of her night with her sexy man.
